Jerry,
Would you care to comment on http://lists.contesting.com/_tentec/2002-10/msg00602.html (diode ring mixer and transformer feedback circuit of the Corsair) compared to the recent receiver designs of the SDR and hybrid SDR radios of the past few years? Thanks.
73 es DX,

When the selectivity is way up front, the later stages introduce their
own broad band noise, all the way to the audio output amp, and digital
artifacts from DSP contribute a lot to that. Many a receiver can be
helped by a passive low pass filter on the speaker or headphones. One I
developed years ago is at:
http://www.geraldj.networkiowa.com/papers/speakerfilter.pdf It has
selectable cut off frequencies but it adds virtually no noise in the
stop band. It improves even the Corsair II.
